This happened: I was working on a TV commercial. We were sharing a hanger at the Hawthore Airport with something called Space X(?) it said so on a piece of cardboard taped on the outside of the hanger. They were building a rocket ship. I thought it was just another movie set. After all, a large part of the cockpit was made out of plywood.(!?)
There you go - they make their rockets out of plywood. So if one falls on your house, you can always salvage part of it for home improvement projects.

That's one reason they made those bone conduction headphones.

Tommy Called social media and big Tech in 1969: "Put in your ear plugs, put on your eye shades
and You know where to put the ball."

That’s why apple took off the headphone jack to get people to use Bluetooth so they can spy more

I only enjoy bone conduction when I'm getting my teeth ultrasonically cleaned.

Alrighty all!
I have a professional interest in learning more about the China AI-Brain Project.
I listen to the show regularly, but it only tonight struck me that I might ask this group here for input. ESPECIALLY if Mark H has direction to offer.

Hey that brain waves and Air Pods thing is actually exciting. Never mind the surveillance--yes that's bad. But what about the good? I see the day when it might be harnessed as a way to interface with a computer, or AI, using your thoughts!

Everything you’re stating about AI and what the tech Bros hope to do regarding tracking, surveillance, And copyright Destruction Is very true. But… to say that AI will not have any positive affect on healthcare and treatments is a bit disingenuous.

I just want to let Mark & everyone else know now that over July 4th I came up wiith a song parody of "Surfin' USA" that addresses the issues we discuss here on the show. I'm calling it "Surveillance State". I'll start writing up the lyrics as soon as they come to mind & keep all of you up-to-date on the progress.

I'm not sure that is what the man meant, Mark. Think about the speed which with things are happening right now... It is entirely possible that all of our brains will become accessible and harvestable or connectable or whatever.
